There's no doubt about the neutral's favourite in the Championship play-off final and it's Blackpool all the way. They've got nice Tangerine shirts, a big beach and the madcap manager that is Ian Holloway. But you can't help feel that while Holloway's achievement at Bloomfield Road has been rightly lauded, the luminous glow of the Tangerine fairytale has blinded many to the success of the Bluebirds.
Premier League fans rub their hands at the prospect of Blackpool away offering a day out at the beach, but Cardiff's attractions shouldn't be overlooked, Charlotte Church anyone?
Anyway back to the footie and while my heart says Blackpool & my head says Cardiff, I'm opting to sit on the fence with this one and plump for a draw. Both matches so far this season have ended 1-1 and with so much at stake I think a draw after 90 mins is worth a punt.
It is a best price 12/5 with Betfred Sports
The first goalscorer is a tricky one to predict as Cardiff have goals spread throughout the side with Chopra, Whittingham & Bothroyd all hitting double figures this term. However a lively outsider could be midfielder Chris Burke who has 9 goals this season, with 5 of those being the opening goal.
He is a tempting 12/1 with
As for Blackpool you can look no further than their pocket rocket Charlie Adam who has 16 goals to date, with 8 of those opening the scoring. He takes direct free kicks & penalties too so he's well worth following at 8/1 with Stan James
